Nokia 6124 Classic Brings Fast Internet Browsing

Along with Nokia 6550 for T-Mobile, Nokia also announced today the Nokia 6124 classic, a candybar that will be available exclusively via Vodafone in all markets where the operator is present. Nokia 6124 classic is a compact multimedia phone created to offer customers easier and faster access to Vodafone's range of high speed Internet and entertainment services.

"With the Vodafone exclusive Nokia 6124 classic we continue the successful collaboration we started with the exclusive Nokia 6234," says Jens Schulte-Bockum, Global Director Terminals at Vodafone "We are proud to offer the new Nokia 6124 classic which will allow our customers to access the complete suite of Vodafone communications, browsing, content and Internet services. In addition, the exclusive Nokia 6124 classic offers customers further improvement in their experience with many of Vodafone's services already launched with leading Internet partners."

"The name says it all, as the Nokia 6124 classic represents the iconic design familiar to the Nokia brand, now made exclusively for Vodafone customers. It's a great example of our collaboration and shows Nokia's commitment to customers, says Markku Suomi, Vice President, Connect, Nokia. "3G broadband appeals to users who want convenient access to the latest information, as the device can even be used as a fast modem to access the internet from the PC."

With Nokia 6124 classic, Vodafone and the Finnish producer offer a full suite of communications and Internet services. The phone features advanced data rates with 3G broadband for downloads up to 10 times faster than on normal 3G networks. It runs on Symbian S60, enabling users to download and store additional applications and content on the phone. Moreover, Nokia 6124 allows you to run several applications at the same time, making it easy to search the Web while listening to music or talking. Other known features of the phone include a 2 inch display, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash and panorama mode, and external memory card slot for up to 8 GB of extended memory.

Nokia 6124 will be available on Vodafone markets starting the second quarter of 2008. The handset will most probably be showcased at CeBIT 2008 (4 - 9 March), and we'll soon bring you more details about it, plus live images if possible.
